good luck. you relapsed once without meds, right? dont want to sound pessimistic or be negative towards you but you should be careful. i am also careful and have a sort of ‘fear’ that i will relapse and will have to be locked in the hospital for 7 months again suffering from the most insane delusions.
No I never had a psychotic relapse. I wouldn’t try to get off if I did. But yes, I had mood issues and spiralled quickly into a mixed episode or was it depression. i told him I will go back on the meds at the first sign of a relapse.

I dont believe the pdocs differentiate much between mood issues such as irrational anger outbursts and psychosis. to them if you have the former you are not normal and suffer mentally just as a delusional person. did you have delusions when you had your first episode?
yes delusions. i don’t know. He seemed quite happy to take me off these meds.

if you dont mind me asking what delusions you had? religious? my doc also had no problem taking me off my meds and its working this far.
Had it in my head that somehow everyone at work loved me. My colleagues thought I was so amazing and talented that they wanted to train me to become a dr. I believed that and thought I was going to be so rich I was making plans to move out.

I had some religious delusions but wasn’t too intensely focused on it.
I worked in a hospital at the time.
Lol thats quite a harmless delusion actually. Nothing like eternal hellfire and torture delusions. We all get these kinds of delusions from time to time. I thought some requests from girls i received on a website were actually real and i was like drowning in them (10 or so requests, without me even contacting them) then i realized that it was all a scam to suck me in to pay money to them and i saw what big fool i was to think i was so valuable. What happened that they send you to hospital though?
I was never sent to hospital I was treated in the community. I kinda wish they sent me to hospital though. They would have had a more accurate pic of my diagnosis.
Did you go yourself to get treated or somebody suggested you need help? What kind of mood swings have you experienced during that entire time?
Originally diagnosed with schiz but I always suspected it was some sort of mixed ep during my first episode. Later I have schizoaffective diagnosed.
Good luck! 
You fell for bots? I almost failed for one on facebook. Topkek.
No i joined some dating site for 3 days. iCupid or something like that. dunno how legit those people are. And there girls, after like 2 hour, send me requests to chat and send me winks. some were quite good looking other were meh. Im sure they werent bots but instead some sort of paid members who bait people into joining and becoming paying customers. somebody on this forum was using icupid, no? was it @anon31257746? so i thought id try it out too. i deleted the account right after i realized i cant even chat with the girls unless i pay money.
I used pof.com 151515
cool, did you pay for it?
I did once. I just use the free version now though
icupid sounds like a scam. OkCupid is the legit one.
